    How about a Haiku:

    How disquieting is Beauty, but not so muchas senseless moth deaths.

    Yay, Frank Zappa, yay!! All-time great guitarist and composer, guest of foreign heads of state, enemy of censorship and Tipper Gore. Not to mention dogsniff’s avatar muse.

    As for that lovely lady in front of the guitarist, I was wondering if she were Mrs. Miller, owner of several “hits” from the ‘60s. Having done some research, I’ve concluded the woman on the Blog is too old. Now, if we could hear her sing, that would seal the deal either way.

    Wow! That phone is pretty small for 1984: http://obituarytypo.blogspot.com/2011/08/strangers-short-film-1984.html Google says 2004. Good short film though.

    I thought of a young Minnie Pearl, but I’m not sure. I never saw her without the trademark hat, w/ price tag attached, even in very old clips.

    Dear oneswellfoop and all others suggesting or fearing gocomics drop your least favorite or favorite strip:

    This is not a newspaper. There is unlimited space for comics for all tastes even yours. The day when readers are forced to read only the handful of strips the local newspaper editor allowed is over.

    No comic need ever leave. Even after the strip’s end, it will continue on forever here in reruns.

    Welcome to a world where “Love Is..” and “Frog Applause” can co-exist. Now if gocomics’ Powers That Be will let “Frog Applause” feature the same dress code as “Love Is…”

    flawless Givenchy couture. Sometimes I wonder how that kind of design translates to people who don’t follow fashion as closely as some others do. Especially when it’s posted on Frog Applause!

    Re: Special Knowledge/Ability

    I took this Harvard university face recognition test (can’t find the link, sorry) and I got 99% as opposed to an average of 70% from most people. I can recognize some 460+ models working in the fashion industry and spell their names (which can go from Lily Cole to Alla Kostromichova).

    My native language is Spanish and I taught English to myself when I was 12. I’ve never taken an English course or went to any bilingual schools in my life.

    /ends bragging
